I am running a Postfix/Dovecot/Postfixadmin server on Centos 7 and wish to use AfterLogic WebMail Lite for users to maintain their mail. The server hosts 7 domains each of which has upto 8 mailboxes attached to them.
I have setup the domains and users on WebMail Lite but cannot find where to setup and maintain user passwords. Any help would be appreciated. Currently user/password authentication is done through the PostfixAdmin module. Does WebMail Lite interface with PostFixadmin?

In WebMail Lite, authentication is performed via IMAP. Login equals either email address or its username part, depending on the settings in Mail Servers; password is what users enter on login screen. In your case, authentication is done on Dovecot level, just like any other IMAP client would authenticate.
Please note that there's usually no need to add user accounts via admin interface; as long as user logs into their email account with correct login/password supplied, the account will be created in the database automatically.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for your prompt reply. I did not realise that login authentication took place within Dovecot. Under what situations would you create a user within Webmail Lite?

Typically that's done if you don't wish to autocreate users on first login - for instance, to allow only specific users log into WebMail. If that's the case, you can set AutocreateMailAccountOnNewUserFirstLogin to false in data/settings/modules/Mail.config.json file, and then add the users via admin interface.
